The Volkswagen Atlas is the three-row SUV that keeps on giving. Space, style, refinement and performance gather to create a unique family hauler that stands out with unparalleled driving dynamics. It is more comfortable than its rivals and uses unique interior craftsmanship to deliver a superior driving experience for everyone on board.
Here, we compare the 2022 Volkswagen Atlas with the 2022 Hyundai Palisade.
The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas gives you maximum interior space
The Volkswagen Atlas provides more interior space than the Hyundai Palisade. Not only does it give passengers more personal space, it also pushes the limits in terms cargo volume. When it is full of passengers, the Hyundai Palisade leaves only 509 litres of cargo space in the rear. And folding the passenger rows will only increase this space to 2,447 litres.
The Volkswagen Atlas will give you 583 litres of cargo in the year when it is full of passengers. Fold the rows and get a whopping 2,741 litres of space to fit everything you need.
Your passengers will also take advantage of a superior cabin in terms of fit and finish, but also in terms of technology. Drivers and passengers can take advantage of things like IQ.Drive safety system, Car-Net features that let you control your Atlas remotely and even a Fender premium audio system, among many other high-end features.
The 2022 Volkswagen Atlas provides optimal efficiency
The Atlas pushes ahead in terms of drivability and efficiency. First, it is offered with standard 4MOTION all-wheel-drive, which is a key component to conquer harsh Canadian winters. The Hyundai Palisade is FWD standard, with AWD offered as an option. Even if you opt for the AWD option on the Palisade, you won’t get the technology and advancements behind the legendary 4MOTION system, which offers more driving modes and more possibilities.
The Volkswagen Atlas also offers better fuel economy. With ratings as low as 11.5 L/100 km in the city and 9.5 L/100 km on the highway, it is more efficient than the Palisade, even when the Palisade is FWD!
